Resumen

El papel central del administrador educativo en las escuelas está bien establecido. En México, pocos administradores escolares reciben preparación formal antes de empezar sus cargos. Aunque los recientes esfuerzos regionales y nacionales han proporcionado oportunidades de desarrollo más profesionales, aún falta una preparación previa al servicio de manera formal en todo el país. Este artículo describe brevemente el paradigma histórico de los programas de administración de la educación en los Estados Unidos y ofrece un modelo para la preparación de líderes escolares. El modelo, utilizado por el Programa de Administración de la Educación de la Universidad Estatal de California, en Fresno, se enfoca en el liderazgo educativo que toma a los estudiantes desde las bases teóricas hasta el conocimiento práctico y la aplicación de conceptos. Se describen en detalle las bases del programa, el plan y las características.
